SH3 Commander Question

GT182 · 05-16-12, 07:33 AM

I never tried this but is it possible to connect a running SH3 Cmdr that's now working with GWX to a new and different Mega Mod install of SH3? I'd like to continue the campaign I'm currently running now. I'm planning on saving the whole SH3 campaign from My Documents and then putting it back in . Is there anything else to do? I haven't tried any of this in a couple of years and have forgotten a lot of what needs to be done, all from being burnt out with SH3. It's fuunny tho, I could do all this in my sleep when I was in SH3 hot and heavy.

My SH3 install is on a second HDD and I'm going to remove the exe shortcut from my desktop and shut it down. Unintal the mods and move the mod folder to the new install, along with JSGME.

I don't have the Multi SH3 installed yet. Tried once and could never get it to work properly. But... I'm going to try again.

I guess old age and CRS really screws the pooch now. Makes me feel like a newbie all over again. LOL
Thanks guys.

I'm not sure. What I did is copy Commander and create a new folder and desktop icon. One is SH3 Commander and the other is GWX Commander. I'm comfortable with having separate installations for each version of SH3.

A quick look at the User Guide confirms that this was Jaesen's thinking as well:

To ensure maximum flexibility and compatibility it is recommended that you have a dedicated installation of SH3 Commander for each installation of Silent Hunter III.

Thanks Steve. That's what I'm trying to do right now. Is there anything else that has to be saved and moved besides the info in the My Documents/sh3 folder? Mods will be transfered too.

I renamed the one for GWX to SH3 Commander GWX. I saved the career in the sh3 folder and pasted it into the new sh3 folder in My Documents for the new install of SilentHunterIII. The original is tucked away in the UBI folder for my SH3 GWX install.

I don't think so, but it's been awhile. As I recall I made the transferred one into the new career. MultiSH3 takes care of the rest. You have to start with a clean unmodded stock game for it to all work, I think.

Yep, this is a clean stock and unmodded SH3. Going to do an expansion mod soon in the 2nd copy of of SH3 I made.

I'm doing all this because I couldn't get any deckgun ammo. Tried and tried while in base to fix it but nothing worked. Not even what

I tried every way I could think of to put my old GWX campaign back in SH3/GWX but it didn't work. With that I've restarted all over again. It's a pain going thru all the Naval Academy again but that's the way it goes I guess.

Did you click on the shell icon while at the gun ?
Always starts at 0 until you click the shell
